Elizabeth: A Portrait in Part(s)

I am always amused and slightly appalled by the extreme criterion folks use to judge art. They so often seem to have an agenda.

This is a wonderful, enthralling documentary. I was enthralled, it made the journey of the queen a human one, a woman's story, and one that gives far more dignity than a bunch of British talking heads disputing the value of a monarchy ever could. This is a wildly creative look at her job, and her life, I hope I am lucky enough to suffer such 'disrespect' as a film about my self offered with such higher art than usually finds a documentary.

I admire Queen Elizabeth for her incredible work and service through 70 years on the Throne. I've seen many documentaries about her and the royal family. This documentary was awful! The scenes didn't have any coherence, jumping from one event to another and putting random moments of different movies or actresses or actors that had no connection with the event. The music selection was terrible! For instance, in moments of sadness (funerals) the music didn't reflect what was happening at that the moment. I rated 3 stars because I think the footage of Her Majesty is wonderful other than that, this whole project is not what I was expecting. I'm very disappointed.

First, any moron who thinks this is a publicity movie for the purposes of propaganda is exactly that...a moron. I'm an American. For all intent and purposes I am clueless in matters regarding the British monarchy. This film is a cleverly produced education. An insightful look at the life Queen Elizabeth II. If you're a fanatic for historical documentaries, as I am, you will absolutely enjoy Elizabeth: A Portrait in Part(s). Of course, if you're a member of the moronic ilk who believe that the hypocrites Harry and Meghan are heroic figures then you'll probably not appreciate this movie. No worries maybe someone will someday determine to waste time, energy and money producing a tribute to those halfwits. Long live the Queen.

OMG. The cutting from HRM to Elizabeth Taylor is but one example of what can only be described as a bizarre and undignified look at Queen Elizabeth. It's like a bad dream. Did I mention the part with the Mona Lisa wearing a chef's hat? What?

And it only gets worse from there.

But a pretty good one. Archival footage from 70 years showing the Queen in various contextual chapters. Some tongue in cheek humour from comedy shows and wistful, clever sounds and music clip overdubs put together in a respectful manner. God Save the Queen!
